Because each person and family has special needs, you will want to develop
your own record keeping system. Whatever system you devise, make sure that
it:
- is easy for you to keep, use,
and update.
- would be easy for other members
of your household -- or even a trusted friend or relative -- to understand
and use if necessary.
- contains names, addresses, and
telephone numbers of persons who know facts about your personal affairs
and would be important contacts in time of emergency.
- provides a summary of real estate
and personal property held in your name or held jointly with others.
- provides a central spot, well
known and understood by all family members, where some records and papers
are actually kept as well as information about where the others are
stored.
